Today it's time for a new tutorial for Mo's facebook group “Bella and Bronte’s Clubhouse” and I would like to show youmywaytocolour brown hair on kraft paper. I will complete the image from my first tutorial and once it's finished the image will look like this:

This is the result from the skin tutorial and my starting point for today:

Step 1

I started by looking which parts of hair I would like to be the lightest and coloured them in strokes with CREAM. (Please do not wonder about the photo exposure, but I highlighted the photo so that you can see more of the strokes.)

Step 2

Next, I used GOLDENROD as basis for the rest of hair. You can already layer/blend these two colours by drawing slight strokes over the CREAM.

Step 3

By using CHESTNUT I started to model the parts of hair which I want to be the darkest. I also created a colour transition between light and dark by stroking into "highlights".

Step 4

Just intesify the darkest parts by usingDARK UMBER to deepen the shadows.

Step 5

The last step is only to blend everything for smooth transistions. I chose LIGHT UMBER as my blending tone. And now the hair is already finished!

If you like, after finishing skin and hair you can trace all black lines with a very sharp black pencil.
And in case you are also interested in how I did her shirt, you can follow the pics step by step:

I am so sorry for the bad photo quality at the end, but it was already late and dark and I only used my smartphone camera. Nevertheless I hope, you liked my tutorial so far. In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
